Utility Tips
What is a compy used for? compy battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
While many say the humble compsognathus is a useless creature,
This could actually not be further from the truth!
They have the strange ability to get much more meat from animals than most creatures their size, this coupled with with their portability makes them ideal taming companions before cryopods are available.
They also can be incredibly powerful in swarms, some have said they can kill an allo with about fourty, couple twenty complies with five of their aerial counterpart the dimorphodon, and you have a brilliant combat group capable of taking down almost anything.
And lastly, they are simply brilliant companions.
All Utility Tips for Compy:
1. A pretty cute, if unconventional, pet
2. Can serve as a backpack (due to shoulder pets reducing weight in their inventory by 50% when on your shoulder)
3. Not strong, but can serve as a distraction
That's about it. Honestly, unless you want a pet early on to bite at the ankles of things, don't tame.
